little ghost girl in the abandoned housing complex
every tuesday after work, she used to put on a pretty white dress she found at an op shop, and headed down to the abandoned housing complex just down the road from her flat
she takes out a little wireless speaker to quietly play static and noise
goes on a little corner somewhere, puts down a little sheet of cardboard to make sure her pretty white dress doesn't get any dust or dirt on it as she sits down
she lets her hair down and cover her face
and waits to frighten everyone and anyone who dare braved the same apartment buildings
and she would sit the whole night ending up just staring at a dimly moonlit wall
it was kind of like sleeping but way colder and having you wake up and cough out dust in the morning
one tuesday night it dawned on her how lonely it was waiting for someone, anyone
she was getting desperate to scare someone
but surely the look on their faces would be worth it
she did this for an entire nine months,
she was able to do this for an entire nine months without any encounter or intervention
she started hoping the building would collapse in an earthquake one of these nights
so one night she turned the volume up high
took a little few bits of fentanyl pills
and fell asleep curled up between two doors in the hallway
the little speaker blared out static like a distress signal
screaming that she was there
and then the speaker ran out of battery
her dreams of her delusional legends were to come true, she assured herself
but amidst the terrifying silence she screamed as loudest she she could:
"I'm the ghost of the girl of this abandoned building! My spirit haunts this complex from the basement to the roof where I watch over every single person in this city! Please, someone, anyone, come put my soul to rest!"
but little did the little ghost girl know that in this city there is no judgement
